Why I am in Red

[Nobody]

I figured out today why I am always in red bar. The idiots over at frontier said that their internet is capable to run xbox live. I figured out today that they are not capable of running it effeciently. Before I signed up I swear I saw the xbox live compatible logo on their website. Crap connection, crap speed, crap company.

ouch.. that sucks. i usually see you in yellow pretty consistently and maybe a jump to green or drop to red.

Yea I confirmed what I thought to be true. They did have the xbox live compatible logo. Here is a post from a user at dslreports.com

Signed up in Jan 08 when it became available - first problems within days - couldn't stay connected - speed check DL 1200 kb UL 156 kb - guaranteed 1 Mb of unlimited access and XBox Live compatibility - by March speeds were down to half of the guaranteed DL speed and we began having lag problems in ranked matches - Siemens SE 567 Gateway @ $3.99 per Month in addition to DSL charges - Absurd but the only game in area

Xbox says frontier is not on their list of approved carriers and the Siemens SE 567 is not an approved Gateway - Frontier has the XBox logo on their site indicating approval and say that as long as you can connect to Xbox it is acceptable - they also say that they guarantee the connection not the ability to play games - talk about a line - when they are trying to close the deal they are XBox approved but when the problems start they only guarantee that you can connect

This is very annoying. Annoying for me and the people I play with.

But oh well, I am moving in a couple weeks. The internet where I am moving to is 15000kbs up and down.
